Overview

This is a professional degree program offered jointly by UTS and the Singapore Institute of Aerospace Engineers (SIAE) through their Professional Development Centre, the Air Transport Training Centre (ATTC). Building on an established SIAE–UTS educational partnership in aerospace operations, this course was launched in Singapore in 2000.

This unique degree equips graduates to take advantage of expanding professional opportunities in the fast-growing aerospace industry in Singapore and the region. Students have the opportunity to study onsite at the Seletar Aerospace Training Complex at Seletar Aerospace Park. The main campus contains a fully operational hanger with access to the runway at Seletar Airport.
